Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee (D., Texas) took to the House floor on Thursday to call for a vote on legislation that would, she said, give unemployment benefits to people with jobs.
Let us vote to provide for unemployment insurance for working men and women, Jackson-Lee pleaded.
So we cant be only about our self in this holiday season, particularly as we recognize that the Pope being made man of the year has spoken to the world eloquently about this whole issue of the vulnerable. And so I ask this, Mr. Woodall, and the Rules Committee, lets put the Van Hollen-Lee-Levin amendment on the floor tonight, tomorrow. Call us back, Mr. Boehner, call us back, Mr. Boehner. Let us vote to provide for unemployment insurance for working men and women so that faces across America will not the tear of desperation on their face. The deal is good, but the people are suffering. We cannot allow this to happen this season of joy and giving.

She's in a very tight race with congressman "Guam is gonna sink" Hank Johnson, for stupidest congressperson ever.
It would seem that the regime’s policies will achieve this without any true effort on our part. : /
is Jackson-Lee a former whore who contracted Syphilis? Is it dementia of some sort?
Is that rep truly that wigged out??
O say can you see the flag that the astronauts planted on Mars?
It always frightens me that most Democrats don’t know or care where the money comes from.
Yes this is laughable, but at the heart of this notion is the Democrat strategy to turn Texas blue by overwhelming the productive class with a highly motivated and ever-growing “Free-Government-Sh*t” brigade.
If they can take over Texas we are really screwed.
On a visit to the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory in 2005, Jackson Lee made embarrassing news by asking if the Mars Pathfinder had taken an image of the flag planted there in 1969 by Neil Armstrong.[2]
Prior to the 110th Congress, Jackson Lee served on the House Science Committee and on the Subcommittee that oversees space policy and NASA.

Must see YouTube video! (no joke, he was dead serious!)
March 2010:
Democrat Representative Hank Johnson fears Guam may tip over and sink due to overpopulation! Check out the reaction of the military official he was questioning.
Remember, Sheila, the Pope also says that the unborn are vulnerable and that abortion is murder. Are you also going to abide by what he says on that topic?
Since it is the season of joy and all, Sheila.
Not to mention Cynthia McKinney and current rep Debbie Wasserman-Schulz. The hallowed ranks of truly stupid congresspeople are well-populated.
“My fear is that the whole island [of Guam] will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize,” [democrat House member Hank] Johnson said. [Admiral Robert] Willard [clearly holding back a laugh] paused and replied, “We, er, don’t anticipate that happening.”
I ‘d like two fried chickens and a coke!
Just imagine a whole congressional district of Sheila Jackson Lees!
She needs to be laid off, but then comedy writers will have to work harder.
They are the two smartest people in the Congressional Black Caucus.
Thanks for the link Working Man. Obamacare reminded me of that song a while back. (The company store “sells” the buy-them-or-else obamacare policies)
“.........her words are priceless and provide us with jokes that all original.”.......
She is the “joke” but her words are obviously dangerous because the rest of the demodummies will go along with her ideas and worse, the Repubs will vote to fund the ideas.
"Ms.Jackson-Lee, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I've ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response was there anything that could even be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul!"
I felt the Billy Madison quote is appropriate here.
"Now who can argue with that? I think we're all indebted to Ms. Jackson-Lee for clearly stating what needed to be said. I'm particulary glad that these lovely children were here today to hear that speech. Not only was it authentic frontier gibberish, it expressed a courage little seen in this day and age."
